Happy new years Mondoweiss!
I always wondered about your site stats, wow those numbers are impressing, imagine where these stats are in lets say 3 years.
Happy New Year indeed. There should be plenty to discuss. I share justpassingby’s sense that the statistics are impressive and will improve, ie we’re edging into the mainstream. There is an audience for genuine anti-racism!
Happy New Year to all the Team at Mondoweiss. Going from strength to strength.
Very impressive report.
Am already 7 hours into it and as far as I can see it, 2014 looks good.
Happy New Year.
